Abstract
<p>This paper is a sociolinguistic study of the speech of people who belong to Bedouin tribes, namely, the Anizi tribe, in Saudi Arabia. The speech of forty-eight informants from this tribe has been observed and analyzed with the aim of noting variations in the speech of this group and identifying possible correlations with selected extra-linguistic factors. Because the variant [ts] of the (K) variable is the key feature of the dialect of this group, it will be used as a basis in investigating this variation. The study shows that the /ts/ sound, which is not widely known or used by a large percentage in the Arab world, is still categorically used in the speech of the members of this tribe within the tribe’s domain. It frequently appears in a high percentage in the speech of the older generation as well as the young. The study also shows that its use drastically decreases in other settings. Complex psycho-linguistic and socio-linguistic factors have been found to be crucial in determining whether the variant is preserved or abandoned within the different settings.</p>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
